How can I unblock terminal after I run the dev Server?

[astrothunder]

I need to run some commands after running the Vite command. I can't manage to do it since the terminal is stuck in this mode shown in the image below:

I would like to have the server running and be able to run commands after wards to automate Husky pre push commands.

Many shells allow running a command in the background by appending & to the command. You could start your dev server in the background so that you could still use the shell to enter new commands:

npm run dev &

Don't forget to kill the process when you're done (or just close the terminal).

When I do this I just get that the task is suspended, which doesnt allow the server to run if I need to input more commands

I'm running into the same problem. I need a way to start this for development along with other tasks and want to avoid this blocking

I managed to find a solution using the "concurrently" library to deal with running tasks in parallel

There also appears to be this library which attempts to do the same though I haven't tested it

In my case I needed to run npm run dev < /dev/null & based upon this advice.

I have gone through the same problem but here I found my solution :

• 🔢 If you press ctrl+c the terminal will prompt with a Y/N
• 🔢 then select your preference and enter
• 🔢 After that you will be back in your previous work directory

you can see the screenshots below :

@tony19's suggestion works if used in a package.json to run multiple commands. It even prefixes the Vite output with [1] to show it is the first process spawned:

Package.json has:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "vite --no-open & another command"
  }

Any updates?
